No thanks - I don't want to be looking at a dinky cell phone screen in traffic when I don't know where I'm going.

Bill... I hope your GPS is voice guided. You shouldn't be looking at a GPS while driving. It will tell you where to go. I can't count how many collisions I have investigated over the years where the at fault driver tells me they were looking at or fiddling with the GPS and didn't realize that traffic was slowing. And those are only the ones being honest about it... I have a feeling that it is much more prevalent then some people will admit.
Anywho, I stream music from my phone to my truck radio. The GPS overrides the music and tells me where to turn. My co-pilot is also the one that fiddles with the GPS to look for gas stations, food, etc. When I am driving, I focus on the road. The bride focuses on navigation.
Having a big screen to distract you while you are moving 8+ tons down the highway at speed is dangerous...
